Compared to some, Henry Powell's life has been lucky, if inauspicious. Yet Henry is impossibly stuck, unable to reconcile the dreams and expectations of his promising youth with the reality of the unassuming, vaguely dissatisfied clothing store clerk he has become.

As weeks turn into months and months into years, the shop becomes Henry's only window to the world, where he marks time by the milestones of his former classmates' lives.

But his day-to-day measured existence inadvertently conceals a fracture that has caused the disintegration of his family, one that will ultimately reveal the Henry that might have been.

Review:

'Everything Must Go is a solid story that is a blend of pathos and humour.' --Romantic Reviews Today

'Hard-hitting, disturbing read.' --Daily Echo

'Henry Powell, a clothing store clerk, feels that life has passed him by and the promise of his youth is unfulfilled. Gradually we discover how things went wrong for him. As big fans of Elizabeth Flock s previous work, we couldn t wait to get our mitts on this! **** ' --OK! Magazine
